Wrack by Bradley, James
ISBN: 9780091834944 PUBLISHER: Vintage (Australia) FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 15 PUBLICATION DATE: 10.01.1997 DIMENSIONS: 19 x 12 x 2 centimetres

All his life he, like David, has been obsessed by the stories of the ship. When David meets Kurt, he believes the old man has the answers he so desperately wants. Answers he will do everything to discover...The story swings back and forward in time, from the days of the Portuguese sailors and their fiercely protected maritime secrets, to the politics of history in a 1930s university, to the playing out of David's obsession in the present.

He studied at the University of Adelaide, where he completed a law degree and took honours in philosophy, and later at the University of South Australia and the Australian Film, Television and Radio School. He has worked as a law clerk, judge's associate, solicitor, research assistant and editor and more rec
